![]() Can you get used to it? Yes, but that doesn’t mean you won’t die often due to some of Shantae‘s questionable gameplay decisions. Sometimes it feels like your attacks connect with an enemy far away from you, while some attacks don’t connect even when they’re pretty much share the same pixels as your character. Her movement is a bit wonky, the collision detection is faulty, and the reach of her main hair whip attack feels completely random.

Sure, its level design and progression system are excellent, but controlling Shantae feels a bit weird, to say the least. You can clearly see that when you analyze its gameplay. ![]() While Shantae is an impressive game for GBC standards, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t aged. Sadly, the small screen size and large character sprites mean that you’ll have to resort to leaps of faith every now and then, but platforming puzzles are few and far between. WayForward used smart workarounds to make their game look way better than your average GBC game. There are even some smart effects included in here, such as Shantae’s sprite becoming darker at night or when she is walking in a shadowy area. Shantae’s sprite is superbly well-animated, and each level is detailed and varied. This game is gorgeous, even for today’s standards. The scope and free roaming structure aren’t the only things that impressed me when playing Shantae. What he has managed to achieve with such a limited soundchip is nothing short of spectacular. more from King God Castle (the title needs work but you gotta appreciate those sprites) so thatll be coming over the next several updates as well. I’ve been humming some of the game’s tunes for the past few days nonstop. Jake Kaufman composed Shantae‘s soundtrack, and, as expected, it’s downright amazing. Sure, you’ll probably die in one or two hits, but you CAN explore them regardless.

Shantae is the star of her own titular platforming video-game series produced by WayForward Technologies, and one of the latter two Extra Characters introduced to Blaster Master Zero in the Version 1.3 update on July 6, 2017. In a way, this game reminded me a bit of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, especially when exploring said dungeons. The game is about going from town to town, talking to people, gathering items, then partaking in challenging platforming sections and an occasional dungeon to explore. Shantae is a traditional 2D platformer with some slight metroidvania elements, as well as an open-ended level structure. Shantae Portraits ( portrait_shantae.The way the game behaves when it’s nighttime or when you’re in a shadowy area is nothing short of genius, considering the hardware. Rottytops Portraits ( portrait_rottytops.pak)Īll of these were originally unused prior to the game's console release on May 28, 2020, implying that Rotty used her HGH portraits as placeholders until her SS ones were finalized. Risky Boots Portraits ( portrait_risky.pak) Several unfinished portraits are left in the game's data, and were eventually colored in for the game's release on home consoles on May 28, 2020. The overall art style is reused from Shantae: Half-Genie Hero but the character portraits were redrawn and don't necessarily reflect the proportions of the in-game sprites anymore, instead having them not match like in Shantae: Risky's Revenge, which had Shantae herself wear a vest in the sprites despite not wearing one in her portrait art until the next installment. 1.3 Shantae Portraits ( portrait_shantae.pak).Normal Shantae Blue Color Swap What if Trainer Shantae Magic Dress (2nd game). 1.2 Rottytops Portraits ( portrait_rottytops.pak) Shantae - Shantae in pokemon style sprites.1.1 Risky Boots Portraits ( portrait_risky.pak).
